Very nice composition. I love the buttercup as an interpretation of yellow. The marlble tile is well lit and the good focus throughout is perfect. I would like to see this lit so that the reflection is enhanced somewhat. A little difficult as the lower left petal has nearly reached saturation. An 8.

Brighter yellow and tighter crop (remove corners) and I'd have given it a point higher. :-)

nice concept -- perhaps if the flower was larger or more striking it would be more powerful.

Great take on the challenge; there's not much yellow here, but it is clearly the subject. I like the way the corners of the slab are cut off.

Yeah, it's low tech, it's an interesting object, the lighting and color are great and... I'll bet you're wondering why your score isn't higher. Well, you've got a centered object on black, with nothing else around it- kinda' like a catalog photo. There's no story. This would be SO much more interesting in an environment... such as pouring tea into a handmade cup with bamboo implements around it and soft candlelight. That would lend your image more feeling, and likely a better score. Of course, you might already have a 6.35, in which case you should pretend this was all written in Cherokee and pronounced, "Blah, blah, blah..." ;-)
